in this study, several data-driven techniques including system identification, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (anfis), artificial neural network (ann) and wavelet-artificial neural network (wavelet-ann) models were applied to model rainfall-runoff (rr) relationship. for this purpose, the daily stream flow time series of hydrometric station of hajighoshan on gorgan river and the daily rai...

because of the increasing importance of supplying water for the country, water resource management is of paramount importance. predicting precipitation, as one of the most important climatic parameters, is especially important in using water supplies. time series can be used to predict precipitation. time series analysis seems to be a suitable tool for such forecasting. the present work studies...

Considering the complexity of hydrological processes, it seems that multivariate methods may enhance the accuracy of time series models and the results obtained from them by taking more influential factors into account. Indeed, the results of multivariate models can improve the results of description, modeling, and prediction of different parameters by involving other influential factors. In th...

Sea cucumber catch has followed “boom-and-bust” patterns over the period of 60 years from 1950-2010, and sea cucumber fisheries have had important ecological, economic and societal roles. However, sea cucumber fisheries have not been explored systematically, especially in terms of catch change trends. Sea cucumbers are relatively sedentary species. An attempt was made to explore whether the tim...
